For our 15 year anniversary, the wife wants to go on a cruise. I am thinking 5-7 day cruise. Any pointers? We can easily drive to Mobile or New Orleans vs flying to Orlando. We are very flexible on dates, May time frame. Any pointers.

Nothing that goes to Nassau. If you go to Cozumel, I’ve got a little spot I can point you to that is not a tourist trap and serves the drinks up strong. My honest recommendation is flying to an all inclusive in the Caribbean. We looked at a cruises last year and for a couple hundred more we could fly to a resort. 100x better.

We have been on a few from Mobile and had a great time. Friends that have been on numerous say Norwegian is the way the go and I believe they leave from New Orleans as well. If a port is Progresso, just stay on the ship grin

I should have added we got married on a cruise. I could care less about the the Bahamas and being assigned a armed guard in Belize was a tad much. We loved the ruins in Progresso.

I’m not a fan of this type thing on any level, BUT. We did an Alaska shoreline cruise a few years ago and I’m gonna do it again in a couple years. We had a blast!

Rule number one, always plan a vacation when you can get your spouse in the least amount of clothes.

I know it's not what you asked, but have you considered an all inclusive resort? You still get all of the food and/or booze you want in a gorgeous setting without a lot of the drawbacks of a cruise.

Take a non stop flight to an all inclusive resort somewhere in the Caribbean unless you like the idea of shut up with a couple thousand strangers on a floating germ infested petri dish

An all inclusive is definitely more fun with alcohol, but you can still get all the incredible food and non-alcoholic beverages you want. We went to a boutique resort for our honeymoon a couple years ago called Bahia Principe Samana in the Dominican. The food was all delicious, but the Brazilian steakhouse was awesome. I’ve also been to The Reserve at Paradisus Punta Cana and it’s was awesome. They had 6 or 7 different restaurants just for dinner.

I can get mine out of her clothes right now, without going anywhere.

Our two oldest kids went to Ochos Rios, Jamaica for their honeymoons and really enjoyed it. In fact, our son-in-law (jwyatt) is a member here and could probably answer any questions you might have if you have interest in going there. I know that he and our daughter went on various excursions while there. It really did look like a great vacation from all the pictures I have seen.

If you can wait until Summertime and fly to Seattle, do an Alaskan Cruise. Head and shoulders more fun. Even on days when you are too far from the shore to see scenery, you will see whales in the ocean compared to days of nothing but water in between ports with a Caribbean cruise.


Lord, please help us get our nation straightened out.

All inclusive is our favorite way to travel. Our favorite so far has been The Beloved in Playa Mujeres. I have stayed at 3 different resorts in Playa Mujeres and liked them all. A good way to get an overview and good prices is to check out https://www.cheapcaribbean.com/ They don't have all of the chains, but most of them.

Another one we really liked is Couples Swept Away in Negril, Jamaica. If you are a scuba diver, it's included in the price.

Any Pointers?

Yeah... Book an all inclusive resort in Jamaica instead. Much more fun, less hassle, free booze, nice relaxed atmosphere. I've been on a few, but I will never go on a cruise again. Who wants to be cooped up on a boat with a mass of humanity?

We now almost always go on free style vacations like the last time we went to the BVI. Just make accommodations, book a flight, rent a car or boat or both and wing it. However I will do another all-inclusive.

I wouldn’t go on a cruise if it was free.

Go all-inclusive resort and fly.
